Web-Based Database Application Development
Finding a design firm to implement the process you have in your mind is not an easy task. We
have experience working with billion-dollar companies and single one-person-shops in developing
solid, easy-to-use web-based applications.
In both cases, the process is the same:
- Identify the business model to be imlemented - What part of the business can
benefit from automation? How can a web-based application allow your employees better
access to information? How can a database driven website give your customers better
service? How can we save you time, effort, and money - and improve your business? These
are the same questions asked by the sole proprietor and the CEO of a Fortune 500 firm.
We will work with you to identify the business practices which would benefit the most
from our services.
- Initial Study - In order for us to understand your process completely, we may
need to do an initial study. This will help us to precisely specify what has to be
provided to most effectively meet your needs. While for smaller, more well-defined processes
this step may not be necessary, we have found that for larger tasks, this is an essential
part of the development cycle.
- Proposal & Review - We will present you with a proposal detailing how we will
improve your process. This will include preliminary flows, functions, and a detailed
budget and timeline.
- Development - Once you contract with our firm, we will bring our entire skill
set to bear on the defined task. We are fluent in the computer languages needed to get
your unique tasks done on the internet. (ASP, Visual Basic, C, Perl, Unix shell, Java, Flash
and other) We can draw on a variety of disciplines to choose the right tool for the
job. Our database team can take on everything from small textfiles to large enterprise-class
SQL systems.
- Review and Assessment - as the work progresses, we will meet with you to review
the progress and to assure that the work in progress is moving toward the final solution
to satisfy your needs. Often, as the application takes shape, additional funcions and
features are requested to further enhance the operation of the system. We will work
with you to identify those which can truly help you and work on an implementation plan
for those.
- Training and Use - Once the system is in place and operational, our staff will
work with yours to train your personnel in the use and maintenance of the system. Once
you have agreed that your system, personnel and support processes are in place, we will
make the system live to the user community.
- Support - WebPG can take any level of support role you desire for us. We
routinely host, operate, and support our systems, and can do the same for your company.
If you prefer, we can serve as a help-desk for the application, answering questions
from your staff and making modifications as needed. Often, once the business sees the
improvements the system makes to their bottom line, additional follow-on work is
contracted to enhance other areas of the business.
We have experience in doing one-off types of applications, and are flexible enough
to take on tasks that do not fit into most design companies business models. If you have
unique hardware requirements, or a system related task that is a little out of the
ordinary, let us know and we will work with you to satisfy your requirements and develop
innovative solutions.

a timely and effective manner, but that business is enhanced as a result.
We will work to satisfy you.
